To the south is the Liu family's mansion. Almost three generations of direct blood relatives of the Liu family live in this mansion. Those beyond the third generation of the Liu family will be spread out. Although they cannot inherit the Liu family's business, they can still get a good job.
, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and if you perform meritorious services, you will even be recalled to the Liu family's mansion and become a core member of the Liu family. All the big families follow this kind of branching path, so that they can continue to be strong.
.
Unlike the castle, the Liu family's residence is not open to the outside world and is heavily guarded. Its status is equivalent to the Dragon City Nanhai for Tianfu. Anyone who dares to break in without permission can be killed first and then punished by the guarding soldiers. Correspondingly, if anyone surrenders here,
An atomic bomb would instantly paralyze Tianfu's government, and the Liu family in Tianfu would be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Yue Chang and Yue Xi came to the mansion and took photos of each other with their mobile phones from a distance, acting like two ordinary tourists. The armed policemen standing guard ignored them. There are many tourists like them every day, as long as they don't
When they got close to the cordon, they just went with them.
Yue Chang and Yue Xi circled around the mansion intermittently. Before they knew it, it was getting late in the evening, the sun was setting in the west, the clouds were forming on the horizon, and the guards of the mansion also started to change shifts.
After watching the shift change process, Yue Chang and Yue Xi looked at each other and shook their heads.
The mansion is heavily guarded and there is absolutely no possibility of sneaking into it.
The Yuezhi sisters turned around and left, and soon came to an inn, where they had something to eat and a rest.
This inn has two floors and is not large in scale. It sells local specialties in Tianfu, and the most famous thing in Tianfu is hot pot. The climate in Tianfu is humid and foggy, which has formed the habit of Tianfu people to eat spicy food. Tianfu’s hot pot
It has the effect of dispelling cold and dampness, and although the spicy taste may be unbearable at first, but after eating more and getting used to it, the more you eat, the more you like it. If you don't eat the spicy taste one day, you will feel sick all over your body.
strength.
The Yuezhi sisters asked for a small private room on the second floor. The waiter served tea, four small dishes, and asked with a smile on his face: "What do you two guests want?"
Yue Xi was on the phone, and Yue Chang smiled softly: "Little brother, what delicious food do you have here?"
"That's a lot! There are fresh pepper chicken, spicy shrimp, love tofu, boiling mutton, hot and sour soup, pepper crab, braised fish with green onions, braised beef brisket, fat intestine and tofu curd, spicy pork liver, spicy chicken, and dry shredded beef.
, shredded pork with vegetable fish flavor, stir-fried shredded beef, boiled beef, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, pickled fish...you name it!”
The waiter announced a list of dish names like a tongue twister, which made Yuexi, who was on the phone, couldn't help but applaud. Being praised by such a beautiful woman, the waiter's face was rosy and he looked majestic. He only had the standard posture of a Red Guard.
After calming down for a while, the waiter asked: "Have you two guests decided what to eat?"
After talking on the phone, Yuexi said with a smile: "Since you said so much, let's have a hot pot!"
"..."
The waiter's eyes widened, damn it! I told you so many dish names, but you didn't order any of them.
"Two friends are coming later..." Yuexi put away his smile and said, "Let's serve the hot pot first, and we'll order whatever we want later."
This sounds like a human saying.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! One portion of hot pot, and I'll order more later!"
As soon as the waiter walked out, Yue Chang asked: "When will big brother and the others arrive?"
"It's a coincidence that they are also nearby. They will arrive in ten minutes, but..." Yuexi chuckled, grabbed a handful of fried peanuts from the four small dishes and stuffed them into his mouth: "There is a city gate tax when entering the city.
Yes, they come here and it’s two hundred, am I too bad?”
"Xixi, you're eating without washing your hands." Yue Chang scolded helplessly, raised her right hand, and said with her index finger, "Stretch out your hand."
"Well..." Yuexi stuffed all the peanuts in her mouth and stretched out her hands.
A stream of clear water appeared out of thin air and rushed down on Yuexi's hands. Yuexi quickly rubbed his hands, washed them clean, and shook the water droplets on his hands. The temperature of his hands rose rapidly, gradually turning red, and the steam rose. In a short time,
After three to five seconds, Yuexi's hands became very dry, without even a drop of water.
At the gate of the city, Liu Menglong handed the gate soldier a cigarette, said a few good words, and then entered the city with Nalan Ruyue. Unlike outsiders, the locals in Tianfu did not have to pay the city gate tax. A cigarette could solve the problem.
, Yuexi’s purpose of making Liu Menglong bankrupt was completely bankrupt.
It's getting dark, and the street lights are on in the city. The vendors are still setting up stalls for business. All kinds of beautiful colorful lanterns are hanging high. A stage has been set up in the empty square. The host is holding a microphone and is impassioned. He said to foreign tourists: "Dear friends who have come from afar, today is the annual summer lantern festival of Tianfu Castle. This year's lantern festival not only has a variety of beautiful lanterns to enjoy, but also prepared a large number of lantern riddles, and the best Tianfu We would also like to grandly introduce to you the folk arts, acrobatics and juggling performances. my country's famous singer-Phoenix Group has also come to the lantern festival. Now, let us welcome the Phoenix Group with warm applause to perform on the stage. Invite-Phoenix Group !”
"Hello everyone, we are the Phoenix Group!" After the host finished speaking, a man and a woman came to the front stage from the backstage. When the tourists in the audience saw the two people, they immediately cheered: "Wow! The Phoenix Group! It's the Phoenix
combination!"
"Phoenix Combination! I love you!"
“The coolest ethnic style! Love tiger oil!”
"Above the full moon! Love tiger oil!"
"..."
Liu Menglong ignored the Phoenix group and took Nalan Ruyue's hand to squeeze forward.
When Liu Menglong held his hand, Nalan Ruyue's delicate body trembled, and her starry eyes looked at him with a hint of confusion.
"Hold on tight, don't scatter them." Liu Menglong said calmly.
There are a lot of people gathering here, and they will be dispersed if they are not careful. Liu Menglong does not want to bother to find Nalan Ruyue again.
His big eyes blinked, Nalan Ruyue nodded, and held Liu Menglong's big hands tightly. These hands were not rough, but very warm.
A few minutes later, Liu Menglong and Nalan Ruyue followed the flow of people to the inn where the Yuezhi sisters were staying, and walked in. The waiter immediately greeted them enthusiastically: "Are the two guests here in the hotel or staying in the hotel?"
"We are looking for someone." Liu Menglong waved his hand: "Don't worry about us, just ask others to go."
Upon hearing Liu Menglong's authentic Tianfu accent, the waiter chuckled and turned to greet other customers: "Ouch! The two guests are not here, please come in quickly..."
After going up to the second floor, Liu Menglong and Nalan Ruyue found the Yuezhi sisters' small private room and stood outside the door, raising their hands and knocking on the door.
"Come in." The voice was very familiar and lively.
Pushing the door open and walking in, the people inside saw Liu Menglong and Nalan Ruyue, and their faces were filled with joy. Yuexi stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Brother, Sister Ruyue, you are here! Come in and sit down."
Yue Chang also stood up, her smile still so soft and sweet: "Big brother, sister Ruyue."
"Hey!" Liu Menglong agreed, but Nalan Ruyue could only smile and nod.
"Why are you here? I thought you would rest in the hotel for a day before coming out." Liu Menglong pulled up a chair and sat down, not polite at all, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
"We have long wanted to visit Tianfu Castle. Besides, we have rested on the train, so why rest?" Yue Xi liked Liu Menglong's straightforward coolness: "And today is also the annual summer lantern festival.
Brother, can we go to the lantern festival together after we finish eating?"
"Oh, is it already this time?" Liu Menglong has come to participate in the summer lantern festival before, mostly alone. For some reason, Liu Ying doesn't like to participate in the lantern festival held in the castle.
Liu Ying was willing to accompany Liu Menglong to other lantern festivals, but the castle lantern festival... was not the case. Liu Ying had never walked into the castle, not even once in Liu Menglong's memory.
Liu Menglong also asked her why? But Liu Ying never answered. As time went by, Liu Menglong didn't bother to ask.
"Brother, is the summer lantern festival fun?" Yuexi called out to the door as "waiter", then turned to Liu Menglong and asked: "I heard that there are many fun activities, please introduce them to us!"
Liu Menglong smiled slightly: "There are a lot of fun things. The most traditional one is guessing lantern riddles. I don't know if there is a lantern festival in Longcheng..."
"No." Yuexi shook his head: "There are lantern festivals in some places in Longcheng, but not in the community where we live. Besides, people are busy making money now, and not many people have time to participate in the lantern festival. Instead of watching the lantern festival outside in the cold weather
, might as well stay at home and watch the party."
